Question 4 Question The quantisation error is calculated as the difference between the signal and the closest level as the difference between the signal and the farthest level as the absolute value of the sampled signal . ISP Verification tests
Quantization Quantization is the procedure of constraining something from a continuous set of values (such as the real numbers) to a relatively small discrete set (such as the integers) Quantization replaces each real number with an approximation from a finite set of discrete values (levels) values are represented as fixed-point words or floating- point words ISP Verification tests common word-lengths are 8-bit (256 levels), 16-bit (65,536 levels), 32-bit (4.3 billion levels 3
Example of quantization ISP Verification tests ( ) n ( ) n ( ) n = e x x quantization error q d 4
Coding Amplitude time ISP Verification tests levels We start with an uniform quantization 5
Coding With N bits K = 2Nquantization levels are obtained at each level a code of N bits can be associated ISP Verification tests 3-bit resolution with eight levels 6
Bit rate Bit rate number of bits per second product between the sampling frequency and the number of quantization bits bit rate = fc N ISP Verification tests 7
Non-linear quantization ISP Verification tests non-uniform quantization 8
Logarithmic quantization logarithm uniform ISP Verification tests non-uniform 9
Example ISP Verification tests Uniform quantization 10
Example ISP Verification tests non-uniform quantization 11
Comparison ISP Verification tests 4 bit linear 3 bit logarithmic 12
Comparison Quality the dynamic range of the 8-bit logarithmic quantization corresponds to 13-14 bits linear quantizer Signal to Noise Rate (SNR) a 8-bit logarithmic converter is better than a 8-bit linear at low amplitudes, but worse at high amplitudes ISP Verification tests 13
